WILD NIGHT

A night of fun and laughter – Cheryl’s Hen’s Night. Why Hen’s Night? Good question. I don’t know where that came about. Was so use to the word Bridal Shower until my wedding last year and Cheryl introduced the word Hen’s Night to me.

Found out about the origin from the net. Here’s what they got to say:

Last Night Out for the Bride to Be

Once only a man’s domain, known as the stag party, the “hen’s night out” has become an important part of the modern wedding for women. It is a celebration of the last night, as a single person, for the bride-to-be and of the friendships she found during those years.

Who to invite

Normally the hen’s night out is for a younger crowd, keeping the shower tea for the older generations. This night is a celebration of friendship. Remembering all the good times they’ve had together - perhaps meeting at school, going through their teenage years, then growing into woman together and now, looking towards raising their families together. The bride-to-be’s sisters and female family members will also be important to her on this night as she may be leaving the family nest for the first time after her wedding night. Also, workmates play a huge role in the bride’s life, don’t forget them. The bride will want everyone there. The hen’s night out is like the end of an era!

Organiser

The Matron-of-Honour or the Bridesmaid’s will organise the hen’s night out. They are to gather a list of the bride’s friend, then find a suitable venue that the bride will enjoy. Remember, it’s her night! They send out the invitations, await responses, collect money from the guests and pay any deposits needed. The bride need not worry with any of the details and just enjoy her hen’s night.

Planning a memorable night

This all depends on good organisation. Trying to find the perfect venue can be a hard job but if you always keep in sight what the bride-to-be would like, you will never go wrong. Arrange transport to and from any venues, this way everyone is kept in a group. Throw in a few fun but embarrassing games for the hen…how about her having to kiss any bald man that she sees through-out the night, on the top of his head (don’t forget the bright red lipstick and the camera).

Places to go

There is no lack of venues to choose from. Anything your bride would want to do is available to her. Maybe a theatre restaurant, a comedy night, a cruise, a male revue, a mystery night out or a ghost tour. How about a day at the races, a winery tour, a pampering cruise. For the adventurous bride there is skirmish, jet-boating, kayaking or sand-duning. The ideas are limitless, imagination is the key!

We had it at Neway Karaoke Box, 1 Utama on 26th July 2007. The theme was RED
